2 TIMOTHY 4:7 - FIGHT AND FINISH BY FAITH

2 TIMOTHY 4:7

FIGHT AND FINISH BY FAITH

By Susie Hale, PJM

Paul fought a good fight

Defended what’s right

Endured persecution

Now faced execution.

He had finished his course

Preached his final discourse

Had encouraged believers

Routed out deceivers.

The faith, Paul had kept,

When awake, when he slept.

His hope was in Jesus.

He taught that grace frees us.

And what about me?

Jesus set me free.

Do I fight for His name

And His message proclaim?

Am I staying the course

With power from the Source

To run a good race

Teaching God’s grace?

When my life here is done

And my race I have run,

Will people testify

I kept the faith ’til I died?
